Missing 26-year-old Banker Found Dead In Lagos

Days after he was declared missing, the body of a Lagos banker, Osemudiamen Idemudia, has been discovered at a morgue in the Yaba area of Lagos State.

DAILY POST had earlier reported that Idemudia, 26, who worked in the Point-of-Sale department of a commercial bank located in the Ikota area, was last seen on the evening of May 9 around CMS, Lagos Island.

A family member identified simply as Segun confirmed that the deceased was found on Sunday following an exhaustive search through several hospitals and mortuaries across the state.

“We have found Osemudiamen’s body. He was murdered. We found the body on Sunday in a morgue at Yaba with machete cuts on his head, face, and legs. I’m so sad,” Segun said.

According to him, the nature of the injuries strongly suggests the young banker may have been brutally attacked and killed.

Segun also disclosed that morgue attendants informed the family that the body had been deposited by police officers.

However, attempts to obtain further details about the circumstances surrounding his death, including the precise location where his body was recovered, have so far been unsuccessful, as the officers involved were not identified.

“The staff members of the morgue claimed that the body was brought in by the police but when we asked where they brought the body from, they could not provide an answer.

“They said they did not have details of the policemen who brought the corpse to their facility. That made the discovery more complicated.”
Meanwhile, the remains of the deceased had been buried by the family on Tuesday.
